Edward Ries, the man who was in
jured on the 18th inst, by piling fall
ing on him, died about noon last
Wednesday. A post morteln examina-
ton revealed the fact that his neck was
broken, and it was something of a sur
prise that he lived as long, as he did
after the accident. The deceased had
two brothers living at Sioux City. His
remains were enclosed in metallic coffin
by Mr.. CornweH and shipped east
Thursday.
Monday afternoon Of last week an en-
gineer named Richard Powell was fatal
ly injured at Morseville, by falling from

conscious by the fall. He was picked
up and taken to Rapid, but never re-
covered. He died Thursday. A

remains to Clifton, Ontario, for burial.
Deceased was estimated to have been
worth about $20, 900, and was very popu-
lar among his acquaintance.

Since the ADVERTISER mentioned the
electric light project last week, several
parties are figuring on the possibility Of
the enterprise. There is scarcely a
business in Sturgis that does not pay
less than SIS per month for kerosene
lights, and those who are giving the
matter attention are inclined to the
opinion that the electric light can sup
plant at a less expense the method of
lighting now in use. The light would
not only be better, but it would be
cleaner and safer, and much more naes-
thetic." 'God said, let there be light" !"

The Stanford College.

Much interest is felt among educators in
Senator Stanford's choice for President OF
his university. 1t is understood that the
selection has been made, but the name Of
the chosen one is not to be announced for
the present. In conversation with a re.
porter on the subject yesterday Professor
Welcker, ex-Superintendent of Public In
struction, who is staying in the city, said
that the number of prominent educational
people fitted to fill the place is limited as
it will doubtless require executive ability,
acquaintance with the world, and knowl.
edge in some degree of most branches OF
learning. Learned professors who NAV
have won reputation in any particular
field of knowledge, are, generally speaking,
untitled for such a position, as their devo-
ton to this branch has kept them in the
cloister, made recluses of them to q certain
extent, and kept them from knowing men
and their ways as other people who mingle
in society do. Such ardent students will
probably, he thought, find places in the
faculty of the college, and, although he
knew nothing about it, he opined that this
corps of professors would be mutually
agreed upon by Senator Stanford, the
trustees of the college and the President.
He could not say who might be selected,
but having heard General Francis Walker
mentioned frequently il connection with
the institution, he considered him likely
man for the positions. f. Cal, April
